William Lloyd Garrison wrote to Benjamin Lundy: "We shall fare on bread and water a long time before we strike our flag. Whether we sink or swim in this new enterprise, we shall remain the unyielding advocates of the poor slave." This quotation is from a letter by William Lloyd Garrison to Benjamin Lundy, January 1831. The complete text of this letter was published in Genius of Universal Emancipation, Feb. 1831, p. 162
